Guys it wasn’t even close, I mean when you compare the S95B to the LG C2 the gap in performance is so shockingly large it's like throwing a hot dog down a hallway, and yes LG has made some major improvements since then on both their TVs and monitors with their new MLA technology, but I still think Samsung has the lead, and here's why. Now let’s just get monitors out of the way real quick, LG OLED monitors are great, and they do offer more options than Samsung when it comes to sizes, but unless your looking at the 42” LG C3 you're gonna have a display with a matte finish which is a huge blow to the image clarity, vibrancy, and contrast, so unless you just can’t stand ultrawide monitors, which hey I get it, then I do generally suggest Samsung’s QD OLED monitors instead as they tend to look much better. Now again the LG C3 is different as it has a glossy finish, but it's also fairly large, and in terms of brightness its way behind what QD OLED is capable of. So now let’s talk about TVs and QD OLED Gen 2 in general, as I think this will help illustrate just why QD OLED is still better than WOLED in general. 1st lets talk about color. Samsung's S95C generally has more vibrant colors, and while its an absolute mess out of the box, once calibrated it can just have a wider gamut and more vibrant image all while retaining accuracy just like the LG G3 which unfortunately seems to not be able to match the S95C in this regard, and I think some of that is due to the white sub pixel kind of washing out some bright colors. Not only that, but guys I recently was able to finally fully calibrate the S95C to the wider BT.2020 color space using a spectrophotometer which I used to create corrections for a colorimeter, which in turn was used with a pattern generator in Calman Ultimate to create as accurate of an image as I possibly could in the full RGB color space and the results were shocking. Now if you want my settings I will have them posted in my Patreon after this video goes live, which you can access in the description or pinned comment, and I will also be posting calibrated BT.2020 settings for the S95B as well, though keep in mind you cannot disable dynamic tone mapping for that display, but in any case as you can see in my photo here, while I'm sure further improvements could be made, I was able to nearly perfectly match the EOTF curve as well as fix the BT.2020 color space allowing for more color, and I also unlocked my S95C to reach over 2000nits, and as you can see here even after calibration it still hits nearly 2000 nits in a 2% window which is shockingly bright. Not only that, but unlike WOLED it does all this without the use of a white subpixel which means that colors retain their accuracy and brightness at these high luminance levels, something that even MLA OLED still struggles with. Then you throw in the 144Hz support it has and we are talking about hands down the best display ever made PERIOD. So next time your arguing with someone about Samsung vs LG OLED just link them this video, the only thing worth being concerned about is whether or not they truly did massively improve burn in, which the jury is still out on, and yes LG has Dolby vision, but it seems the whole AV YouTube community is pretty much in agreement that currently Dolby vision does not look better than HDR10+, and at the very least it certainly isn’t worth paying more for or making you purchasing decision over.
